Chapter 5,
"Goro: The Prince of the Nights"
"You'll stay here for as long as you want. Please bear with it." the room was large but looked unused but pretty cleaned.
The outside we've been has a stair leading to the bedrooms, I knew that that leads to the bedroom because the place is familiar with the game and besides, stair that's leading up is mostly a bedroom in animes.
There's a chandelier and a small wooden chair and also a wooden table in his room where he took me just now.
"You can sit there if you like" I nodded my head and sat on the chair.
He seems cold right now. I don't feel like I have to talk to him.
After a few moment he left the room without telling me where is he going. I can't just wander around his mansion like house. I'll look like a churlish guy to him. I dropped my head slowly until it touched the table and I didn't realize that I fell asleep.
***
I woke up and realized that my position from last night when I fell asleep is not changed. Goro was asleep in the bed and looked exhausted but the worries are not there to be seen. I thought it's a girl's room because of the name written on the sign on the door.
I left out a heavy sigh then stand up to stretched my bones. I was surprised when Goro is already awake standing while staring at me "I something wrong?" I asked but he just noticed in disapproval and left the room. That was embarrassing! He already had a good sleep but he's still this cold! How horrible of him!
I followed him until we reached the Adventurer's Guild and waited for him to finish taking to the Guild Master.
Everywhere we go, his expression is still fixed, it's cold. His face showing no emotion but his eyes showing the word 'Kill' but his hair is messy and has cool looks.
He's quite different from the Goro I just met. Did I just do something that made him upset? Well, I didn't do anything, r-right? I wonder.
A heavy sigh left my mouth. I tried to open it but when I got to the point that I will speak, nothing comes out of my mouth. Just like a music player without a battery. I feel my chest tightened. It felt like every moment now, tears will fall from my eyes filled with sadness.
Everyday was very boring. He left me alone in his room doing nothing but stare at the ceiling while laying on his bed. I know he wouldn't appear right away and get angry at me for laying on his bed and I also got curious about how it felt laying on his bed so I tried it out because of boredom. I thought it was going to be fun and then I realized, it was not. There's definitely something wrong with him. With those characters I saw in him, I realized he has a problem. What kind of problem would it be?
Everything went black. I didn't realized that I fell asleep.
I woke up still lying on Goro's bed then realized that he was staring at me while his brows furrowed.
"W-What's wrong?" I asked while my voice is shaking.
He shakes his head for disapproval "No. It's nothing." He says while his eyes not focused on mine.
"Oh, O-Okay" a lips curved into a forced smile.
I got out of his bed while feeling my face burning. It's Sunday today. I don't have things to do. Except for special training. We received it every Sunday.
I got out of his mansion like house and got out while carrying a map because I yet still don't know don't know the way to the school. The carriages here passing by looks very similar to what Hiruki drew. Some places have very wee glitch if you look at them properly. Glitch, huh?
I looked at the big school that looks very simple but enormous. It took me almost half an hour to get to this school. You can only get here if you are a student but if you are not, you have to do what Goro and I did last time. Like going around on circles.
The hallway are quiet that it hurts my ears. It's like I've been in a haunted house. I don't feel anyone's presence. Just like no one's home. Isn't there a special training here today? I wonder what happened?
The more I get closer to my new classroom the more I get a bad feeling. I got shivers on the moment the wooden floor started creaking. Well, I admit I'm very scared right now.
"Ahh--!" Nagulat ako pero agad kong natakpan ang aking bibig bago pa magpakalakas ang boses ko at umalingawngaw sa buong paligid.
I saw a man in cloak and it was directly staring at me with it's pure blue eyes without any Iris and only one message is said in his eyes: the color blue eyes ay the color of sadness. Not long, it summoned so many tentacles that has a spear-shaped end that moves fast then slow.
The Capital of the Knights with a monster inside? Teachers and students here are Knights. How did that happen?
The tentacles seemed like it wants to play with me. Excitement is seen in it's movements. Fast the slow, fast then slow. The cycle only repeats until it attacked me. It made me dodge multiple times as it continuously attacks me. All I can do is defend myself as it stays on the offensive side. It's a miracle that I survived. If I wasn't a Knight, I would've been dead by now. I only run as I was baffled by this change of scene.
I used my dark magic to deceive the enemy and get out of the place. I looked the the place and saw a butterfly and tried to tame it.
*Tamed Swallowtail*
*Acquired Luck: 12*
Note: Heros who can use Summoning magic have taming magic because you can't summon a familiar if you don't tame any animals or beasts.
I used status reveal skill to see the butterfly's status wishing I would be lucky and the butterfly must have any special abilities.
Status:
Magical Powers:
Light Barrier: 8
Medium Barrier: (Soon. . .)
Special Barrier: (Soon. . .)
Fairy Transformation: ½ Hours
*Cooldown: 25 minutes
Special magics:
Summon Minions (Poison Swallowtail): Lvl. 8
Water magic: 15(Max)
Name: (Nameless)

Extra Note: Familiars and Masters can share senses. They're like a phone connected on a speaker, when you play a song on the phone the sound will come out on the speaker.
After taming the butterfly, I sent it towards the front of the window of our classroom and connected my sense of sight on the butterfly I tamed and saw the classroom. There's blood splattered everywhere and pale bodies scattered on every part of the room. It made my gooseflesh rose and I was more surprised when I saw three of the monsters carrying dead bodies and throwing them in every part of the room. I was so scared that my knees started to shake and my breathing started to get fast. Seeing that sight made me want to vomit every food I ate since this morning.
"Hey, you alright?" Haru hit my back back with his arm closed like he was trying to punch me very hard.
"You're early today, huh?" Milly said in a arrogant tone.
I looked at them baffled "Your not there?" I pointed at the school.
"Of course we aren't," Kent's right eyebrow rised "Aren't you very early?" he added.
My expression suddenly turned into a scary scared look "E-Everyone i-inside is d-dead" my voice shakes as I speak.
They suddenly smiled forcedly "What the hell are you saying?" Miller gave a fake chuckle.
"I-I'm s-serious." I half-whispered as I bowed my head.
"N-No way," Kent gave a crooked smile.
"Let's check it out to know what's happening inside" they both nodded their head.
"Hey, you got to be kidding me!" I suddenly looked at the three's direction and my eyes widened as I saw the monsters outside.
"The monster weapon on created by the scientist, the monster creation A9344X from project 'Mirai'" they stepped back as Kent speaks.
"It can't be affected by ordinary weapons and elemental magic" Haru added in a cool but a bit shaking tone.
We're all surprised by the sudden appearance of Goro that passed through us with a high speed.
He attacked one after another and it made the three's mouth open in surprise. But after a few moment the monsters attacked him and it caused him to fly and hit the ground.
"Gor--!" I stopped in mid-sentence when something white like light magic hit the monsters and it disappeared right away. I tried to look where the magic come from yet I didn't saw anyone nor feel any presence of anyone.
"Are you ok?" I was surprised when I heard a familiar voice. It's Goro speaking. It really surprised me because he hadn't talk to me this whole day. It was very boring.
"What's wrong?" I came back to my senses when I heard him speak.
"It's nothing." I said awkwardly.
"You didn't talk to me the whole day so I thought you got angry at me" I shyly said.
"Well, how do I say it," he scratched the back of his head "I don't know how to explain?" He sighed deeply.
"I thought you would be angry if you knew that, uh… uhm… I'm the prince of the… uhm… Knights" he said unsteadily.
Note: Every capital has a King and their son or daughter of course is prince or princess. Just like the capital of the knight. The prince is called The Prince of the Knight. And The prince of sorcerers for the Sorcerers.
I can't believe what he just said. He was the Prince of this capital? Naniii?!
Translation: Nani - means 'what' in English.
Word of the day!
Kuso - means 'shit' in English! (I don't intend to make you a bad guy by teaching you this, okay?
